Alt-history is so infested with the right the left has given up with it, why must we be relegated to to the realm of sci-fi? It’s impossible to predict how the past would have went if things had gone different, but what if we predict it anyways? The left doesn’t need a Henry Turtledove, we need a Marx writing a detailed non-fictional thesis about what would have happened if history events had gone differently. We need someone to take a scientific approach towards alt-history, that’s why we need marxist alt-history.
